The socket type on a motherboard specifies what processors can be used.
Socket 478 was introduced for the Intel Celeron and Pentium 4 processors. It was created to replace Socket 423 and was eventually replaced by LGA 775. The latest processors created for the socket were Celeron D.
Mobile Compatibility
Mobile computers supported the 478 socket but had slight deviations by using sockets 479, M and P. These alternate sockets are not compatible with each other though.
Mechanic Loads
Mechanical limits for Celeron and Pentium 4 processors are identical. When this limit is not adhered to or the heat sink is not placed correctly, overheating is likely to occur. It is also likely the processor will crack and be irreparable if overheating happens. The transient limit is 667 nanometers, dynamic is 890, and static is 445. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter.
Performance
The socket design was introduced with the intention of increasing performance in the average computing experience. It is easy to manufacture and allows for both input and output effectively.
